Funcom

Coming off a string of video game hits and a well-received flick, Lego is riding high right now. Now the company with the help of Funcom is hoping to extend that success to a new set of toys that’s intertwined with a free-to-play project. It’s best to describe the project as a Lego massively multiplayer online game mixed in with a dash of Skylanders. Welcome to Lego Minifigures Online.

In the MMO, players will team up with thousands of others online and explore themed worlds. They’ll venture forth through a pirate-infested island or tear through Medieval fortresses. Lego Minifigures Online plays almost like it’s console counterparts. Like those Tt Games productions, players will be defeating hordes of foes and doing some light platforming and puzzle-solving. They’ll build bridges out of random blocks to traverse chasms. In a player versus player mode, they’ll construct turrets to blast rivals.
